The Parsnip.

When well grown, the parsnip is con-
sidered to be one of our most valuable
and desirable garden vegetables, and it
is to be regretted that so little care and
attention has been bestowed upon it by
our amateur cultiva ators, for it well de-
serves a place in all gardens, no matter
how small.
1t prefers a deep, moderately enriched
sandy loan, one that has been well
worked for a previous crop, although
any other will answer if thoroughly and
deeply plowed as early in the season as
possible.
1t is best to give liberal dressing of
decayed manure, and this should be well
and deeply incorporated with the soil by
means of the plow. A good narrowing
should then be given, so as to level it off
nicely, when it should be marked off into
drills about two feet apart and an inch
and half in depth. In these drills the
seed should be sown rather thinly, and
covered to the depth of about half an
inch.
The seed should be sown early in the
spring, just as soon as the ground can
be properly prepared. As soon as the
young plants are strong enough to handle
they should be thinned out, so that they
stand five or six inches apart, then "A
thorough hoeing should be given. After
this all the attention they will require is
to keep them well cultivated and free
from weeds, and at each hoeing let lit
tie fresh earth be drawn up around the
plants.
AS they are best alter being touched
by frost, it is customary to permit at least
half of the crop to remain in the ground
until toward spring, when it can be dug
and used. The portion of the crop in
tended for winter use is dug in Novem-
Der, the later the better, and stored in
sand In a cool cellar.
The long smooth, or hollow crown, is
the variety most generally grown, but
the student is, in my opinion, much
better variety; but one will not go astray
in selecting either of them.

Lefferson,s Education.

For a boy born in wilderness, Jeffer-
son enjoyed remarkable advantages in
early youth, growing out of the fact that
the frontier was as yet so near the parent
colony. Good English tuition at .,
Latin, Greek and French at 8, regular
classical studies at IA, and a college
course at II, fall to the lot of few Ameri
can backwoods boys. Trapping quails
and shooting wild turkeys, deer stalk
ing, fox hunting, and horse racing do
not figure to any extent as his biograph-
ical exploits. Jefferson the boy is book
worm-Jefferso the youth is the petted
member of an exclusive coterie, social,
aristocratic, and literary. The accom-
plishments and courtly habits of the
town effaces all the characteristics of the
country lad, or rather soften them down
and leave them but two in number-the
keen zest of horsemanship and true love
of nature-the pure and passionate ad-
miration of plant and blossom, of rock
and stream, of fresh air and blue sky.
These are the legacy of the forest; all else
he learns from books and the social ira
ditions which drift from the old world
TO the new. Yet such is the strength OF
natures influences that by these two
slender threads she held this nursing OF
society and made him the apostle and
bulwark of that primitive equality he
abandoned, against the pretensions anc
claims of caste and privilege TO the favori
of which he largely owed the develop
ment, if not the awakening, OF his genius

FARM AND GARDEN.


Barns or barracks" are much better
for the preservation of hay than the cir
cular stacks, even though the last be
well built. Hay contains, in the dry as
well as in the green state, matter that is
soluble in water. For this reason all
exposed hay on the exterior of stacks is
subject to having the soluble matter
washed from it, In round stacks the
amount of hay thus exposed is much
larger than is usually supposed. The
best place for storing of well-cured hay
for use is in a good, well-sheltered NOW,
where it should be tramped as put in and
packed closely. Thus it will all keep in
uniform condition. Next to tight
NOW an old-fashioned barrack with a
well-thatched roof, arranged so as to
slide up and down the four corner posts,
is the better. If hay has not been well
cured in the field, ventilation should be
permitted in the mow.- Commercial

Cows and Green Apples.

Whether apples will injure milch cows
depends greatly upon how they are fed,
and something also on the character of
the fruit. A COW usually has no more
discretion as to the kind of apples she
should eat or the amount than small
school-boy. When cows break into an
orchard or q sudden wind storm brings
down great number of apples prema-
turely, so that cows can get them, then
serious injury is sure 10 result. The cow
has the cramps as evidently as boy
could have them. Often the first sign
the owner has is a sudden falling off Of
the milk yield, and though they may be
partially restored, the injury to the tone
of the stomach is such that the yield will
not again be as great during that season
as it was before. The worst effects are
from unripe fruit. 1t takes only few
sour green apples to derange the stomach.
The acid, bitter juices, with which they
are filled are more or less poisonous, and
even one or two will do more harm than
good. When apples are fully ripe a very
few daily may be given with advantage to
mich cows, though sour apples should
be avoided, as even in small quantities
they are of little value for milk produc-
ton. If given at all they should be
fed in measured quantities, and on nc
account should cows be turned in to
help themselves; they will cat a great
many in short time, and if hurried may
choke in trying to eat too rapidly

Farm and Garden Notes.I

As breeder Of disease few things ex-
eel neglected farm house cellar.
Always water your horses before feed
ing them grain, and not soon after.
Air.slaked lime is recommended for
the cabbage, onion and turnip maggots.
Coal ashes possess little or no manurial
value, but serve to tighten up stiff soil.
The Swiss dairyman salts his cows
every morning before they are watered.
Raising fruit, such as grapes, nectar
ines, etc, in pots and uncer glass is
practiced by the English.
Several cases are reported of fresh
apple pomace having been preserved in
the silo with very satisfactory results.
An expression of opinion at a recent
meeting of farmers developed the fact
that most of them inclined to cut hay
when in full bloom.
DIR. Warder says that the strawberry
affords one of the best illustrations of
the benefits of shortening-in fruit-bear-
ing plants to increase fruitfulness.
1t is better to havea crop of some kind
in the ground at all times, provided such
crops be not permitted to mature, but to
be turned under as manure. Fallowing
is not always best.
Prof. Goessman, of New York, has
profted by cultivating the Southern cow
pea, producinga large amount of forage
but not seeds. AS a green manure and
as fodder the COW pea is invaluable.
Corn, clover and other crops should be
allowed to pass the succulent stage and
come nearly to maturity before putting
them in the silo. Thus they contain the
most nutrimeut and the smallest per cent.
of water.
Every horse, no matter of what breed
or for what purpose, is the better for en-
| ioying at least a few weeks of pasture in
summer. Horses should not be subjected
to sudden changes from stable to hot sun,
and rice rersa.
! There are several reasons for butter be-
coming strong, says HodrdS Deiry1dn.
Among them are: Using pals and pans
that are not thoroughly cleaned from
stale milk setting the stale milk in badly
ventilated cellars or milk-houses; keep
ing the milk too long, until it gets very
sour; keeping the cream too long; churn-
ing too slowly, or in an unclean churn
not taking all the buttermilk out of the
butter; keeping the butter in a warm,
badly aired or mouldly place; these all
cause the butter to become strong, which
is the effect of decomposition in it. The
food or water of the COW will also cause
the trouble.
Those who have plowed corn under
for green manuring have been surprised
that no benefit from it was observed in
after tillage. Even after the lapse OF
two, four and six months the corn was
still lying green in the bottom of the
furrow, and good as ensilage. Glover,
however, thus turned under will rot and
emit powerful odor in week after
being covered, in warm weather. Green
manuring with clover seems to benefit
the land, while that with corn usually
does not. Green manuring with rye has
been found of great benefit to the po-
tato crop, if plowed under in the spring.
The rye for this purpose should be sowed
in the autumn. After heading out and
growing TO a height of three or fouI
feet, it can be plowed under for corn
and potatoes.

Bull VS.. Bicycle.

Cured at Stanford, KY, the past week.
DIR. w. b. Penny, of that place, is a
typical Kentuckian, over six feet tall,
and built in proportion. The Doctor
makes speciality of pulling teeth, and
uses his wheel-a tifty-six-inch sky
scraper-in making his visits. One even
ing recently he made call several miles
from town, and was delayed until nearly
dark. He started home, however, after
lighting his hub lantern. He had pedaled
along serenely two or three miles over
the smooth Stanford pike, thinking of
supper, when suddenly he heard a COM
motion in his rear. Glancing back, he
was startled to see mad bull, with head
down and tail erect, charging at him
with full speed. The red side lights of
the lantern had reused the bovine's ire,
and he had determined to annihilate it.
| There was no time to think. Grasping
| his handles firmly the Doctor bent him
| self to business, and pedaled as he never
pedaled before. Faster and faster went
the light machine but closer came the
| infuriated bull. Straining every nerve
the Doctor pulled himself up a hill,
knowing that once up he could gain upon
his bloodthirsty pursuer, and possibly
escape. A slipped pedal or header
meant death, and he knew it. But strong
legs and stout machine gained the vic
tory, and the hill top was reached witt
the hull not over thirty feet behind Bu
the Doctor knew he could quickly coas
away from his enemy on the declivit!
before him, and throwing his tired leg
over the handle bars, he rapidly drew
away and left his pursuer. The race wa
only three-quarters of a mile, and dix
not last much more than two minutes
but it seemed miles and hours long T.

graduating from the military academy
Longstreet was assigned to command,
and was stationed at jefferson barracks,
below st. Louis. While there he visited
his relatives, the Dents, on the Gravois

latter accompanied him on his first visit
to the Dent place, and presented "the
little man with the big epaulets," as
Grant was sometimes called in those
days, to his future wife.
